Dynamic Load Balancing Algorithm in Object-Based Storage System
Ling Qin · 2006
Load balancing is an important issue for large-scale Object-Based Storage Systems.A uniform dynamic load balancing model is proposed.Based on object access frequency,the model uses total response time as its cost function, and considers object replication and migration.The simulation results show that the algorithm using object replication and migration can dramatically minimize the mean total response time under the condition of hot-spot accesses and un- balanced object distribution.
